The History and Meaning of the Spurrs

The Spurrs name has an honourable and proud history. In 2011, a tragic automobile accident claimed the life of 13-year-old Tyler Spurrell. Tyler was an avid soccer player with the PCSPMSA who was passionate about the beautiful game. He was affectionately known as "T-Spurr" by his friends, teammates, coaches and teachers. Mr. Dave Bartlett, Tyler's coach and favourite homeroom teacher (who coincidentally gave him the nickname), ensured that Tyler's love of the game would be honoured in his memory by christening our Metro League as the '"Spurrs."

In the 2023-2024 season, with the launch of the club's PYL program, his name was continually honoured, giving name to that program as well. Players were able to represent the Spurrs and Tyler's name not only around the Metro area but all over the province.

One of the fields in Voisey's Brook Park was named after T-Spurr, and it is proudly known now as Tyler Spurrell Soccer Field. It is with great honour that our players wear the Spurrs colours with the same passion Tyler did.

Go Spurrs Go!
